Psalms 109:26 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 109:26

Help me, O Lord my God
Jehovah the Father is here addressed, who is the God of Christ, as Christ is man; who formed him, supported him, and glorified him; and whom Christ loved, believed in, obeyed and prayed unto; nor did he pray to a God that could not hear, but to one that was able to save him from death: as a divine Person he needed no help, being the mighty God, the most Mighty, the Almighty: but as man he did, being encompassed about with infirmities; and as Mediator help was promised him, he expected it, and he had it, ( Psalms 89:21 ) ( Isaiah 1:7 Isaiah 1:8 ) ( 49:8 ) .

O save me according to thy mercy;
or "kindness"; as before in ( Psalms 109:21 ) from sufferings, and out of them; from death and the grave, as he was; or his people by him, who are saved not by works of righteousness, but according to the mercy of God, ( Titus 3:5 ) .

Psalms 109:26 In-Context

24 My knees are weak through fasting. My body is thin and lacks fat.

25 I have also become a reproach to them. When they see me, they shake their head.

26 Help me, Yahweh, my God. Save me according to your lovingkindness;

27 That they may know that this is your hand; That you, Yahweh, have done it.

28 They may curse, but you bless. When they arise, they will be put to shame, But your servant shall rejoice.
